Hi! I'm Annette and I was living in Copenhagen, Denmark with my husband, but Danish immigration denied my residency and sent me back to Florida (where I am from), and now my husband and I are planning to move to Malmo, Sweden shortly after I return to Denmark. Does anyone know any ways I could meet friends, learn Swedish, or does anyone like to knit/ crochet and have coffee? It has been rough for my husband and I because we have been made to be separated and I've had to bounce around from place-to-place just so we can be together. I know English, French, Spanish, and some Danish, but I guess it's time for Swedish :-P

So, if anyone would like to show a newcomer around, I'll be back in Europe early September. My husband and I are already looking for apartments, and will certainly check come out in person, once I've returned. Let a lady know if you'd like to be pals :-D

Hi! Well, I am currently in Florida until early September, and then I return to Copenhagen, DK. My husband and I are searching for an apartment in Malmo or in Lund. If you'd like to get together and have a coffee or beer with my husband and me when I get back, that would be totally nice :-)

Hej! Lust att ses? Kan visa dig/er massvis i Malmö . I`d like to show you around our beautiful province of scania. Its really something else. If you are intrested in nature and biodiversity i´d be happy to show you what we have got to offer, its my speciality. However if its history you want, castles are a plenty but i dont know much about them

Hi Annette

I live just outside Malmo and like coffee! Please feel free to send me a private message and maybe we can meet up. I know how lonely it can be when you first move to a country and don't know anybody

SFI is great, I did it a few years ago, and it's well worth it!

I went to school. I think that the biggest hurdle is to learn how to speak Swedish and you can only really do that face to face with others.
